Fall is here and now is the time to gear up for the cold weather ahead. Take a look at some of the tips below to help transition your spa into the cooler months.

Keeping your spa open through the winter months?

Be sure to Drain and Clean your spa before the freezing temperatures arrive. You’ll want a fresh fill with new water to ensure your water lasts throughout the winter season. We recommend scheduling your drain and clean service every 3-4 months. To ensure prompt service and to avoid freezing temperatures, we recommend scheduling the service during November, March, and July. 

Check your filters!

Be sure to remove your filters and give them a good clean/rinse to remove excess debris and allow for proper water flow. This is also a good time to inspect your filters for any damage in case they need replacing. We always recommend having a second set of filters on hand! 

Over time, your spa cover's foam can become saturated with water and will become heavy. This affects its insulation capabilities. It also puts a strain on your cover lifter, and could damage the shocks or support brackets. Inspect both your cover and lifter before winter!
